Safety Information
"RC recommends a certified technician install lift systems. Knowledge of RC instructions, suspension procedures and post install checks are required. If a system is installed w/o knowledge and expertise it may impact the integrity/operating safety."
Legal Disclaimer
It is ultimately the buyer's responsibility to have all bolts/nuts checked for tightness after the first 500 miles, and then again every 1,000 miles.

Product Description
Give your truck a sleek recovery system that still turns heads with Rough Country Hidden Winch Mount for your F150. This subtle yet innovative design capitalizes on the ample space behind the front bumper to mount your RC or other standard sized winch while keeping everything neat and tidy. A 1/4" plate steel winch mount secures easily and steadily into the frame horns without cutting or drilling. A unique Roller Fairlead Bracket mounts into the front license plate area for a flush design, leaving only the chrome fairlead and tow hook exposed. This kit is easy to install, suitable for one person to do by themselves. Unlike many winch mount solutions, the winch does not have to be installed to the mounting plate prior to installing on the vehicle, making the task that much easier. This kit also includes a solenoid relocation bracket and Grade 8 Hardware.

Overall I am very pleased with the mount, and extremely happy that I didn't have to cut-up my truck to get it to fit. Great product, very versatile and a clean install. I gave it 5 because I bought it expecting to have to do some extensive modifications, and was very happy when I didn't have to.
This is my 3rd winch install and it turned out great. I decided to put a winch on the wife's 07 Expedition EL and she didn't want a big bumper addition so I looked into a hidden winch setup to make her happy and I couldn't find a plate that was specifically listed as fitting. However, after reading about some other guys using this plate on a similar model Expedition I decided to give this one a shot.
The first thing I did when I got it was pull it out and do a test-fit with the winch I ordered (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09VK1WN6W) since I didn't want to get midway into the install only to find out that there was some kind of issue. It fit perfectly and looks like it was meant to be there.
Since this plate wasn't technically meant for my specific vehicle I had to drill two additional 1/2in holes in the frame for the third bolt location on each side. Other reviews had mentioned needing to buy a nutclip for that location if you didn't already have one installed (usually only the trucks with skidplates have those bolts). Anyway, my kit came with a pair of flagnuts (nuts with a 9in long arm welded onto them so that you can reach in and position it inside the frame while you run the bolt through the winch plate and frame. I'd never seen a flagnut before and I have to say that it worked perfect. Well done RoughCountry!
I did have to trim some plastic from the back of the bumper and obviously cut a hole in the plastic bumper as well. I didn't like the look of the front plate and mine winch came with a nice beefy fairlead, so I didn't use the included front plate from this kit. There was about an inch of space between the front of the mounting plate bracket and the outside bumper that needed to be securely filled or else the bumper would get trashed the first time the winch was used. I had some 1.5in steel barstock laying around, so I just turned down a couple of thick standoffs (though I could have used a stack of 1/2in washers as well) that allow the fairlead to bolt securely to the front of the winchplate frame.
I couldn't be happier with just how well it fits and the grill on the Expedition has large enough holes that I can just reach right in to unlock the spool or connect the hand controller in the event that the wireless remote has dead batteries.
The last thing I did was to swap out the hook for a low-profile shackle (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BHQKGFHN) so that it again keeps the whole front looking clean and nearly stock.

Some other mounts that I looked at seem to me to be lacking in the strength department. Being flat and thin. This one is pretty heafty and the geometry seems to help its strength. (09 F-150 hidden mount).
No visible deformation after some pretty rough work.
